Senior Growth Partner Development Manager (PDM)

HubSpot’s Solutions Partner Program is looking for a Senior Growth Partner Development Manager to help onboard and activate new partners to the HubSpot solution partner ecosystem. The Solution partner program is a program for companies to build their knowledge of HubSpot and build a services practice off the back of our ever-evolving technology. 

As a Growth Partner Development Manager (GPDM), you will own a book of business of newly acquired partners. Our Partner Specialists sign partners up to the program, and then they are handed to the GPDM to onboard and activate them and get them to Platinum partner status → at which point they move over to our Core PDM team. This part of the journey is critical to a partner's long-term success and involves onboarding & enablement, co-selling, and supporting the building of their co-servicing practice. You have a unique opportunity to maximise a partner's growth through quicker time to activation and driving sourced revenue whilst also building their service knowledge. Partners will typically spend 2 years with us in GPDM, so this is long-term relationships versus a short transitional journey. 

• Manage a Book of Business - Independently and successfully manage circa 20-40 Hubspot Solutions Partners in the UKI market, our largest EMEA region. 
• Drive Partner Sales - Driving Sourced MRR is the ‘north star’ metric for the GPDMs - and that is done through multiple tactics, including onboarding and activating partners quickly, and actively selling with your partners - predominantly using Crossbeam. You'll need to align with partners on strong growth targets and take decisive action to help partners achieve this, always with the end customer and quality in mind. 
• Coach and Develop Partners - Empower and guide partners’ go-to-market strategy by sharing best practices for co-selling with HubSpot, packaging and pricing services, and retaining and growing customers. Act as liaison between the partner and the ecosystem resources, connecting the partner to opportunities to grow their businesses and partner with HubSpot.
• Apply Business Insight - Understand the partner’s business structure to help Partners position HubSpot ROI and service and retain HubSpot customers. Review key data to gain valuable insights into the Partner’s operations, customers, markets, and overall performance.
• Collaborate across Teams - Advocate for your partners with internal HubSpot stakeholders to resolve customer issues, drive renewals, and support partner growth.
• Incorporate Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DI&B). Actively contribute to an inclusive environment, ensuring diverse perspectives are valued, and all partners and colleagues feel they belong.
